Intel in china
THE ISSUE
When marketing manager took over Intel’s Beijing division, he was eager to familiarize himself with the operation of each department, and to aid him in this, he reviewed the files of all employees to understand their roles. Using his best judgment, he reassigned work as he deemed necessary, to ensure that each employee was working, both individually and within a team, toward advancing the strategic goals of the department and thus Intel in China. The same rationale was behind a reassignment of various departmental managers, and in the process, Tang reassigned the AMs under Qing Chen, a Beijing native. Though she had worked for a multinational before joining Intel, this was her first managerial position.
Tang’s attention was drawn to Li’s project upon reviewing Li’s employees file. Though Tang felt the basic concept behind the project to be sound, he felt that it had expanded to such an extent from that which was initially proposed that it was not reasonable to expect that Li could realize the project’s goals without it interfering with his primary duties of servicing his account vase. The scope of the project had mushroomed in part due to the perspective of Li’s previous supervisor who, according to Tang, was a very ambitious person who “approached everything on a grand scale with massive goals.”
Initially, the project assigned to Li was the creation of a manual providing local software vendors with tips on running their enterprise, such as marketing carious software products or how to manage or set up distribution channels, for example. However, Li approached the project with such unchecked zeal that it quickly transformed from a manual to a book form, with a chapter dedicated to comprehensive business planning issues, beginning with such basics as how to incorporate a business in China, sourcing venture capital, and the…...

...Intel Corporation is the biggest semiconductor manufacturer in the world and has changed the global marketplace radically since it was founded in 1968. The first handheld calculators and PC’s were developed through the innovation of Intel’s microprocessors. The company is currently valued at more than $54 billion and employs more than 100,000 people. Intel’s product line of Pentium processors have become a household name. Today, at least 80% Intel processors are used in PC’s globally.
Suppliers:. The essential material used to create semiconductors is silicon which is an element of sand and is plentiful in nature. Suppliers cannot alter the prices of this primary commodity to significantly influence Intel Corp’s business because Intel can afford to have several suppliers. Additional suppliers provide the metallization needed between the silicon layer and the plastic for the packaging of the fully manufactured processors. These too are plentiful and Intel can afford to have several suppliers at considerable prices.
Competition rivalry:. Intel Corp continues to enjoy large market shares with minimal competition. In 2011, the company controlled 79.3% of the PC processors market and 84.4% of the of the mobile PC microprocessors. These figures included a 2% drop from the first quarter of the year. The decline in market share could be attributed to increased competition from companies such as AMD, Samsung, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba. These companies sell their products at......

...Intel was founded in 1986, the founders was Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce.The global headquarters is in Santa Clara, California
Intel has 100,100 employees in 36 countries.
The chairman is Andy Bryant and Paul Otellini is the President and CEO.
Few facts about Intel:
World leader in the production of microprocessors:
Intel is the world largest and highest valued microprocessor maker in the world. Intel Corporation designs and manufactures integrated digital technology platforms.
IDM business model – Integrated Device Manufacturer:
IDM is a business model, his initials stand for Integrated Device Manufacturer.
Intel is one of the last companies that work with this business model.
Penetration to the mobile processors:
In November 2003 Intel purchased the Israeli company Mobiline which developed chips for cellphones. But Intel knew it needed to do more than make a few key hires so in August, 2010 Intel purchased the German company Infineon. Intel also purchased another several cell companies in order to be part of the communication world. They believed that they had to be part the growing communication markets.
Low market share in mobile devices:
Interestingly, Intel with $54 billion in annual revenue is the biggest chipmaker in the world. It has 100000 employs, including some of the brightest minds in the industry. But when it comes to powering mobile phones, Intel is nowhere

...To: From: Subject: Date: Andrew Grove, PhD – President and CEO of Intel Corporation FT50812 Intel Pentium Chip Controversy December 17, 1994
Summary
Intel’s reputation as a producer of quality microprocessors is being questioned. Public perception views Intel as insensitive to consumer concerns and overly profit driven. The investments Intel has made in the Pentium chip to secure a competitive advantage will be pointless if consumers lose trust in the Intel brand.
Analysis of Issues
Intel’s dilemma is whether to recall a product that is defective under certain conditions (p. 2).1 This decision requires consideration of the financial and operational issues, as well as the potential long-term impact to Intel’s competitive advantage in the computer industry and Intel’s relationships with companies that purchase microprocessors. These issues are further described below.
Competitive Advantage
The new Pentium chip is the embodiment of Intel’s advantage over other companies. Intel has the distinction of being first in the industry to engineer and produce microprocessors (p. 2). In addition, Intel has made significant investments in research and development to design the Pentium, has incurred significant expenditure in promotions, and has secured its investment with a name-based patent (p. 3).

Intel: Strategic Decisions in Locating a New Assembly and Test Plant
Question 1: What criteria would you use to select the site for Intel’s plant in 2005? Why?
From my point of view, one of the most important criteria which Intel should consider is the cost factor. Intel should choose a location with low cost of operations especially low labour cost. Thus, the company would decrease its costs and increase its profits and its free play when setting the price.
Furthermore, Intel should look for a location which offers many opportunities to do business internationally. As a consequence, it will be easier for the company to expand its market and to gain many other business partners all over the world.
Another important point is the supply of resources. If the supply of resources in the selected location is insufficient the company has to expect a loss of profit. Closely related to the supply of resources Intel should locate its new plant in a country with low cost of import and export and a good infrastructure. Both points are important for the transport of missing items for example.
Moreover, the company should bear in mind that factories of competitors which are located near the chosen location might limit the possibilities to fix advantageous contracts with suppliers.
In addition, Intel should choose a location where the employees...

...Case: Chipping Away at Intel
1. What were the different changes at Intel over the first three years of Barrett’s tenure?
By analyzing the changes at Intel, key factors that can be identify such as:
* They expanded into the production of information and communication appliances as well as services related to the internet
* September 11 resulted in a slowing economy which caused problems with internal systems that needed to be changed.
* Internal systems were redesigned to reduce duplications and improve coordination within the organization.
* New business units were created and decision making was decentralized.
2. Of the environmental pressures for change discussed in this chapter—fashion, mandates, geopolitical, declining markets, hypercompetition, and corporate reputation—which ones were experienced by Intel?
By analyzing each of the pressures for change, all can be originate from the environment. Below, all pressures are discussed in relation to their applicability to the case.
* Fashion: It can be said that Intel followed in the “fashion” of many other organizations by entering into markets that were the “boom” sectors of the technology industry. They were not necessarily ready or committed to enter these markets.
* Mandates: From this case study, there is no evidence of mandates put in place that forced Intel to change.
* Geopolitical: During this period of change, the events of September 11 occurred. This event......

...How would you have handled the situation with Li?
Tang should address the Intel Architecture Development Co., Ltd (IADL) issues of downward and upward miscommunication by first talking to Li’s direct supervisor, Cheng, about the Intel philosophy of "disagree and commit". The Intel strategy should be discussed and linked to Li's skill set and with future assignments. Specifically, recognition should be given to Li's Chinese culture competency skills. All similar organizational and national culture context should be assessed. Tang could then review the different options for the manual project after considering recommendations from Cheng. A pointed conversation between Cheng and Li about the project’s correlation to Intel Strategy should occur to ensure commitment and understanding. Ultimately, a decision by Tang can be made to either cancel ,modify, or reduce Li’a project to a more attainable goal.
Guanxi is a Chinese value of how organizations and people build relationships. Li had earned a high level of Guanxi by working with external and internal customers on his project. Face is another Chinese cultural term that means image , social standing and respect. The abrupt end of the manual project was perceived by Li as losing face, being disgraced , embarrassed, and becoming a social outcast.
Instead of canceling the project, Tang could prevent Li from being dishonored by considering a negotiation with Cheng and Li about the description of the project. Reducing......

...trends. Intel company is a great example of their always trying to keep up with the consumers trends. Due to the rise of smartphones and tablets, the sales of PC’s have been declining in the past few years. Intel has created a product that will help them with their declining pc sales.
Intel had started from humble beginnings. Intel Corporation was formed in Mountain View, California in 1948. It was founded by Gordon E. Moore who was a chemist, Robert Noyce who was a physicist and Arthur Rock who was an investor/venture capitalist. Originally they wanted to name the company Moore Noyce but it sounded like “more noise” which meant that the technology was having some problems. It was initially call NM electronics then it was later called Integrated Electronics (Intel). In its early years, Intel were able to distinguish themselves by making semiconductors. Their first product was a 64 bit random access memory (RAM), which was able to outpace its competitors. In the same year Intel released their 1024 bit read only memory (ROM).
By the 1980’s Intel sales were declining because the growing success of IBM. Intel decided to shift it’s focus to microprocessors. For 10 years, Intel was the primary supplier to the PC industry. By 1991, Intel was able to create brand loyalty with customer selection. At the turn of the century, the demand for their high end microprocessors slowed down. Intel biggest competitor, AMD, had the biggest share of the market, so Intel......

Intel Inside - Case Analysis
Submitted By: Group 49
Problem Statement:
Should Intel associate with Microsoft to venture into the PDA and mobile segment and risk its brand equity? Would this b2b association be profitable to brand Intel?
Background:
Intel was a well established company in the microprocessor segment. Intel was a market leader with more than 70% market share through the years 1994 till 2000. Their maket share grew by 6.55% in the last 6 years. Intel was always ahead of the technology curve and made products which were a market winner. Intels marketing program to educate the consumer on why they should be using their brand was very enriching. Intel associated themselves with OEM’s to create a very strong brand name.
Intels marketing campaign was very strategic and quite innovative. Intel strived to create a brand rather than just being a technology company. Mr. Carter was a very important figure in create the brand “Intel”. Creating a equity for a microprocessor is an ardous task. He created campaigns which made the end consumers understand the value of having Intel int their PC’s. This in turn stimulated the PC manufacturers to associate with Intel as they stood for innovation and relaibility. The perks and also the sales were impacted in a positive way for the manufacturers when they associated with Intel and they agreed to advertise Intel on their campaigns. Thus the age of Intel Inside began.

...INVESTING IN DEVELOPMENT INTEL COSTA RICA
Introduction
S
ince Intel’s decision to invest in Costa Rica in 1996, the case of the global electronics giant choosing the tiny country to locate its US$300 million semiconductor assembly and test (A&T) plant has been widely recounted in the field of investment promotion. A seemingly unlikely match, it is now known that Costa Rica identified a close fit with Intel through meticulous research, and then demonstrated with precision how the country’s investment climate would adapt to meet the project’s requirements. This was accomplished with the active involvement of the highest levels of government in a short timeframe against an impressive list of competitive locations.
Yet how and why Intel selected Costa Rica is really only the beginning of a revealing case history of both lead players competing in a dynamic and difficult global environment. Nine years after the initial project was announced, hindsight affords a fresh perspective on Intel Costa Rica and its numerous impacts, many of which were unexpected. Beyond its obvious direct effects on the country’s economy in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment (FDI), and trade growth, Intel’s investment decision was the catalyst for a realignment of Costa Rica’s competitive platform as an investment location. Costa Rica worked resourcefully and with a novel sense of urgency to enhance the country’s technical education, incentives law, regulation, and......
